Toby will be heavily involved in the ongoing transformation of the group’s news brands as well as ensuring further collaboration between the regional and national teams.
He has been a key member of the regionals senior editorial team for the past two years and has played an important part in guiding newsroom transformation projects, designing multimedia workflows and implementing best practices, says Trinity Mirror.
Reporting to Neil Benson, editorial director regionals, Toby will also work closely with Eugene Duffy, group managing editor.
Neil said: “Toby has a fantastic range of skills, spanning journalism, data analysis, workflow and project management, and his promotion is thoroughly deserved. Our aim is to become one of the UK’s leading multi-platform publishers and the ongoing transformation of our newsrooms is integral to that.”
Before joining the central editorial team as editorial development manager for the regionals, Toby was an Executive Editor at the Liverpool Echo. He began his career at the Clitheroe Advertiser & Times and was sports editor of the Edinburgh Evening News before moving to Liverpool.
